Chiayi County government consumer security officer, criminal punishment went deep into the market to strictly inspect the price of fruits and vegetables.

On the morning of the 23rd, Lu Yingji, consumer security officer of the Chiayi county government, together with the county government agriculture department, the economic development office, and the criminal university of the police station, and Cai Yingjun, director of the Chiayi district prosecutor, went to the traditional township markets such as green pine fruit and vegetable production cooperatives, water township, and Puzi city, to strictly investigate whether there were illegal incidents such as driving up the prices of agricultural products, and to give consumers reasonable purchase prices. Lu Yingji pointed out that Magistrate Zhang Huaguan attached great importance to the reasonableness of agricultural market prices, and especially instructed to strictly investigate and stop illegal hoarding of agricultural products and driving up prices. At present, agricultural prices are still on the high side, and after visits to various places, it is known that prices have continued to stabilize, and if there are no disasters, agricultural prices will be able to return to normal.

This year, the prices of agricultural products have continued to rise under the influence of cold damage, typhoons and other factors. in order to investigate whether agricultural prices in the market are illegal, such as driving up and hoarding agricultural products, consumer security officials and other personnel have gone deep into traditional markets, fruit and vegetable production cooperatives and other places to personally inquire about the prices of potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables and observe the actual situation of transactions, cross-compare and analyze the collected data and prices, and trace whether the market prices are abnormal. Cai Yingjun said that most of the frozen vegetables are sold to dealers of livelihood products such as Quanlian and Carrefour, while the traditional markets are mainly western snail markets and farmers grow their own vegetables, with lower prices. According to the results of this inspection, there is no substantial evidence to prove hoarding or driving up prices, and we will continue to investigate whether other human factors are manipulating prices.
